Spaghetti with Olive Oil, Garlic and Roasted Almonds Recipe

Naturally Healthy

Picture this: an ancient Greek philosopher wandering around, plucking olives from trees, and pondering the secrets hidden within those little green orbs. Fast forward to the present, and we're still obsessed with olives - particularly the golden nectar they produce: olive oil.
Today, I'm diving into the glorious world of olive oil. That's right, that golden elixir that has been cherished by civilizations throughout history. Not only does it add flavour and depth to our dishes, but good quality olive oil also comes with a plethora of health benefits.
I've also whipped up a simple pasta dish, a soul-satisfying dish of spaghetti aglio e olio, which basically means olive oil spaghetti. It's the culinary equivalent of a warm hug from Nonna.
With just a few ingredients like garlic, chilli flakes, and a generous pour of good quality olive oil, you can create a dish that dances on your taste buds.
Plus, it's a quick and easy option for those busy days when you need a meal faster than your delivery app can say “arrivederci.” This recipe has the added crunch of almonds too, and you can make a dairy free, gluten free version.
Grab your spaghetti fork and the recipe here.
Happy Cooking,

What do you think of this 11-year-old's chosen cause?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Whangamatā 11-year-old has placed his award-winning mullet up for auction to raise money for Starship Hospital.

Kahū Hall, who named himself ‘Taco’ when he was three years old, is selling his mullet after growing it for three years. Taco said he was motivated to raise the money after his friend Evie Taylor stayed at Starship Hospital for a heart operation.

Poll: Do you think the idea will work?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The Government will today unveil a radical new plan to www.waikatotimes.co.nz...
|underwrite construction of new private houses|, as high interest rates and an economic downturn make it tough for developers to get finance for new projects.

The new time-limited scheme is designed to de-risk developments, making finance easier to obtain for developers to start building. Developers often have to pre-sell a proportion of dwellings in any development in order to secure finance, which has become much more difficult in the current economic downturn.

Do you think the idea will work? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
